3 Presentation Outline Digital Story Telling Videos on HIV Disclosure Exploring common HIV Disclosure barriers Development and Background of the HIV Disclosure Model Community Mobilization &Lessons Learned: 1) The importance of partnerships 2) The need for tailored strategies 3) The importance of peer support 3
4 Common HIV Disclosure Barriers Disclosure and criminalization Racism Privacy concerns Culture Ignorance and Stigma Fear of Rejection Internal Stigma Isolation Sexual Orientation Gender Lack of Support Network and Resources Setting or Timing Relationship Abuse Testing positive through the Immigration process 4
5 Introduction Criminalization of HIV non-disclosure has been the main focus Focusing solely on an individual s responsibility to disclose obscures the social, systemic, and structural factors that influence HIV-positive status disclosure Disproportionately affects Black men and women Managed properly, disclosure has major benefits for BOTH those living with and at risk of contracting HIV It can be an effective HIV prevention and support strategy 5
6 Introduction (2) The aim of the model is to provide a systematic way of supporting people living with HIV through the process of disclosure Everyone experiences disclosure differently however, most will undergo similar stages of disclosure each time the disclosure process is initiated. The model provides a template that outlines the stages involved in the disclosure process in which an individual seeking support is able to explore the challenges, barriers, and possible strategies associated with their HIV status disclosure in a collaborative and person-centred approach. 6
7 Research Process 1. DEVELOPMENT 2. PILOT TESTING 3. EXPANSION AND ROLL-OUT Literature review of disclosure studies, models, theories 2 focus groups (women who had and had not disclosed their status) and 4 in-depth interviews with ACB HIVpositive women 2 focus groups with service providers working with ACB women Total n=30 May-September Women, 5 service providers, 4 peers, 1 counsellor Women participated in 8-10 sessions with their service provider and peer support worker Data recorded in tracking forms filled by the participants, peer support worker, and service provider 3 Focus groups in Toronto with: Heterosexual Men (n=13), MSM/Gay Men= 9, Youth (n=6) 8 in-depth Interviews in Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo area and 5 indepth interviews in Niagara 2.5 day training with 40 service providers and 20 peer support workers 7
8 HIV Disclosure Model Steps 8
9 Community Mobilization & Lessons Learned: The Importance of Partnerships 9
10 Community Mobilization & Lessons Learned: The need for tailored strategies There's first of all, culture. So culture... that sometimes there's a way that we talk to each other culturally, so if there's no space within that interaction to even approach an issue like HIV, then it's not possible, culturally speaking, literally. It s a function of where they come from, you know their ethnic base, what you know, how they identify, whether or not they are you know gay, lesbian, transgender, and so I think disclosure issues when you are trying to help somebody - there is no blanket coverage - it has to be tailored to specific groups because the need of certain individuals that come from different cultural backgrounds. For me, the big issue, my HIV status is not an issue with me. What is an issue with me, and I have evolved over time, is fear of rejection. And that fear of rejection has taken on many different levels and types. Fear of rejection because of my ethnicity, fear of rejection because of my sexual orientation, fear of rejection because of my colour, I mean there's so many different levels of fear of rejection for me. And as I said, before it affected me a lot, it's affected me less as I'm growing and so on. But it was a huge deal for me. 10
11 Community Mobilization & Lessons Learned: The importance of peer support I think for me what supported me in my disclosure, just as the brother here, I think meeting people who are like me. In this process, when we're meeting and we're all positive, and just sharing our stories, our pains and sufferings, how we're discriminated at home or at work, that process gave me a lot of strength. It didn't happen in one day or one week, it took several months. And so, that journey supported me to say "you know what? I think I can disclose but as a process. Someone living with HIV. Who knows me, who knows that okay, this is beyond: this is like a brother, this is like a sister. And to me it has given me a lot of power to acknowledge and to appreciate the fact that, you know, I am not alone in this struggle. 11
12 Where are we now? Conducted 2.5 day training February 17-19, 2016 to 40 service providers and 20 peers from across the province to implement the HIV Disclosure Model Rolling out the HIV Disclosure Intervention in Ontario Finalizing training toolkit and tracking forms Will be doing additional training and evaluation 12

15 Women s Health in women s Hands CHC (WHIWH CHC) WHIWH CHC provides primary healthcare to racialized women living in Toronto and surrounding municipalities. We are population based CHC and prioritize women from Black, African, Caribbean, Latin American and South Asian communities. WHIWH CHC has been involved in HIV advocacy, treatment, prevention & research for over two decades
16 The African, Caribbean and Black Women Taking Control over HIV/AIDS and Sexual Health initiative Is a three year project that is part of a broader HIV Program running at WHIWH which focuses primarily on treatment, support and care for women living with HIV (WLWH). Targets ACB women over 16 years in Toronto and aims to enhance the existing Care Cascade by including HIV education, testing, diagnosis and linkage to primary healthcare as part of a holistic Care Cascade continuum.
17 Framework: Expanded HIV Care Cascade Toronto Urban Health Fund Community engagement HIV prevention HIV Testing AIDS Bureau Funded Program, LHIN funding (Primary Care, PHAC (disclosure intervention development) We have expanded OHTN s HIV Care Cascade framework for our program to include components of community mobilizing/engagement, education and testing to identify women living with HIV
18 Holistic Approach WHIWH CHC trained 4 staff members from various departments, in addition to 3 trained staff members to deliver the Anonymous POC testing. The complete staff now includes 2 physician, 2 nurses and 3 health promoters to administer the HIV Anonymous POC testing.
19 ANONYMOUS HIV POINT-OF-CARE (POC) TESTING Health Canada approved Anonymous POC HIV Testing in 2007 WHIWH CHC was designated an Anonymous HIV Testing Site that same year We are 1 of 50 Anonymous HIV Testing sites in Ontario and 1 of 16 Community Health Centres that provide anonymous HIV POC testing. Anonymous HIV POC testing has consistently resulted in more HIV positive tests, than standard or nominal testing
20 Anonymous HIV POC TESTING
21 What is Anonymous HIV POC Testing? Involves a 30 minute appointment Pre Test Counseling Tailored to clients and their specific experiences Review risks, HIV transmission, & HIV/AIDS, etc. Testing Finger prick test Result within 5 minutes Post Test Counseling Provide result and follow-up with any additional questions Reactive tests require additional time and support
22 ANONYMOUS HIV TESTING PROGRAM AT WHIWH CHC In 2015, began to expand our already existing Anonymous HIV testing program and trained four new staff members Comprehensive training: AIDS Bureau training & shadowing at Hassle Free Clinic Train the trainer model - group and one-on-one training Promotion of our Anonymous HIV testing program Internal promotion New client promotion Testing has increased five-fold in the last year
23 WHIWH CHC TESTING APPROACH Follow our mandate and work from a feminist, anti-racist anti-oppressive, LGBTQ and trans-inclusive lens We take into consideration the many intersections of women s lives We tailor the sessions to allow for natural conversation to take place We encourage questions to be asked throughout the session
24 WHIWH CHC Testing Goals Clients that test Reactive: o Link them to care o Reduce viral load with treatment o Connect them to support and community Clients that test Negative: Make different choices as a result of new knowledge Making HIV testing part of their routine medical care
25 #GLADITESTED - Encouraging HIV testing amongst African Caribbean and Black women #GladITested Campaign consists of five individual posters and one group poster with different statistics on them including a youtube video. This video has been viewed over 300 times on youtube and it has reached over 7000 individuals on our facebook page.
26 We have also been able to increase the number of women accessing HIV testing services, through development of a more targeted and Success of the campaign The biggest success has been the extent to which we have been able to penetrate ACB communities to reach women we would never have otherwise reached with the support of the community ambassadors.
